All the thirteen programs have completed their Self-Assessment (SA) exercises following SA manual prescribed by QAU of UGC.

The main exercises in a nutshell were:

(i) A team building workshop to create awareness on SA and Quality Assurance (QA) in higher education among the members of the program offering entity.

(ii) Preparation of Self-Assessment Report (SAR) mainly from the survey results of five (5) stakeholders. The stakeholders are: (a) Existing students (b) Academic staff (c) Non-academic staff (d) Alumni and (f) Employers.
Each program organized at least one workshop to share survey results with the stakeholders and considering the feedback from the stakeholders finalized the SAR.

Each EPRT consist of 3 members, one was an international QA expert, one local QA, and one local subject expert. Each team stayed at BRACU physically for 3-days and submitted exit report on the basis of their findings on the 3rd day evening. The honorable teams submitted their final External Peer Reviewer Report (EPRR) in stipulated time.

(iv) Benchmarking mainly on SAR and EPRR, each program prepared a draft Post Self-Assessment Improvement Plan (PSAIP). The program organized a workshop and shared the draft PSAIP with the stakeholders and finalized the PSAIP.

The Self-Assessment Committee (SAC) of each program with the help of respective faculty members/stakeholders completed the rigorous tasks of SA activities. The IQAC of BracU helped them to complete the SA activities.
